If the capital increase is made, either in whole or in part by contributions in kind, the provisions of Article L. 223-9 shall apply. The contributions auditor is appointed unanimously by the partners or, failing this, by a court decision at the request of a partner or the manager.
Where no contributions auditor has been appointed or where the value adopted is different from that proposed by the contributions auditor, the managers of the company and the persons who subscribed to the capital increase are jointly and severally liable for five years, with respect to third parties, for the value attributed to the said contributions.
